Question

I'm on Metolar XR 25 for my blood pressure and it's been stable for 15 years now. Do you think it's still okay to keep taking it, or should I be worried about any long-term side effects?

I'm concerned after seeing something on my dad's ECG report that mentioned diastolic dysfunction. He had a heart attack back in 2006 but hasn't had any problems for 11 years.
